Our Kids

Well we went to the doctor’s today for our fifth ultrasound. I think we are actually going to have one for every month of the pregnancy, we have just made up for the 3 months we missed and now will have one at least every four weeks. How fun.

It’s about official so here are what we are “naming” the babies. Baby A the one that is lower, is named Piper Ruth. Baby B is the one on the left side and under my ribs, her name is Lela Kate. I am trying to convince Jason to put in my maiden name and his mothers maiden name but he thinks that is too many names. I know it seems long but its not like anyone says, “hi my name is Piper Ruth Slocum Haslup”. Party pooper. I will have the last word though, afterall I think I will be applying for the SSN# and filling out the bc:)

This time was really different because they are getting bigger (longer) and they don’t have as much room as before. They are starting to curl up more and are not so stretched out in their rooms. Everything looks really great, lots of fluid in each sac, no placenta previa (since I don’t have it I am not going to find out what it is) etc. Piper is 10 oz and Lela is 11 oz so they are growing at the same rate. Lela has finally turned head down (for now) and is no longer kicking Piper in the head. They did play a little footsie while we were watching. Lela is moving a little less now that she is head down and Piper has been in the same position since 12 weeks and doesn’t move too much. I imagine they will either be hopping mad in the next few weeks due to lack of space and kicking like crazy or so space constricted that they stay calm. Hmmmm…….kids of mine, calm, doubtful:)

We go back to my primary doctor tomorrow for the pee in a cup routine and weight check. Yeah! I think now is when I start to ignore how much I have gained although I must admit I am looking pretty good. I will get Jason to take a picture (fully clothed of course) so you all can see me at month 5.

Well we will post tomorrow after the doc.
